Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says a fully fit Benjamin Mendy can be a huge asset.

Guardiola admits the left-back offers the team something extra - when fit.

“He came back so fit but it's one game. Hopefully, he can play regularly.

“He's a guy who missed a lot. Fabian Delph and Oleks (Zinchenko) and Danilo helped us a lot (when Mendy was out). I think it's so important to have him, but we have to wait, it's just one game.

“The quality for Benjamin is to go outside, but Mendy is also learning to go inside too. It's about being fit.

“He loves playing football. He plays without pressure – he's a guy who handles pressure really well. But we could not count on him for two years, it's a long time."
